They already exist here. The restrictions only seemed to be on compounding pharmacies. But the US has "med-spa" and "rejuvenation center" chains that offer them; I'm guessing at significant markup compared to ordering from random chat-app or website. Since it was a "grey" area who knows if those centers are more trustworthy about their supply sources.



I was operating under the assumption that if they are being promoted by the government that they would be less taboo and states would be less likely to put pressure on such businesses thus allowing them to flourish. If I utter the word peptide in my state people act like I am asking about cocaine whereas some countries it's treated just like a Starbucks.


That probably depends on which state you're talking about. The FDA's reputation isn't great in a lot of places these days.
